Tripods, Quadpods, or Tower Stands (Free-Standing)

These stands are similar to a ladder tree stand but are free-standing and can be placed anywhere that has a firm base. They may be used in brushland habitats or treeless areas. Some resemble one or two chairs atop stilts. Others are enclosed, box-like platforms, and should be used by bowhunters only if the windows are large enough for bow clearance and shooting.
